We have -two- TITLE fights lined up, both of them for vacancies in their division. Charlie was hard at work, whereas Gave kept complaining that our chefs weren't doing a good enough job at providing him vegan variety. These two couldn't be more different, but they will be getting title shots and potentially bring the gym two MORE belts!

LFC - FW - Championship Bout - Charlie VINTER vs. Reggie TAYLOR

We trained long and hard for this fight and ended up against a really good Canadian with great experience. I definitely believe that Charlie can knock that fucker out, given all the hours he has spent working in the gym to perfect his craft.

Thing is, the fight definitely didn't go the way I had expected. Charlie got tripped up and fell off a sweet ankle pick by Taylor. This Reggie guy was pushing the pace hardcore, round one and Charlie hasn't been able to do anything. He barely escaped the brutal elbows, but ended up losing his positioning. Taylor rains several strikes down on Vinter's head and the ref immediately stepped in.

My heart sank.

Charlie, my childhood friend and fellow trainer, got dropped in the first round with ease despite putting in so much work. I felt for him.

JSCRAP - BW - Championship Bout - Uri NOVIKOV vs. Gabe ANDERSSON

Charlie took his loss like a true veteran and said it happens and it's true. Everyone gets stopped at some point in their MMA career. It's apart of the sport.

Gabe on the other hand was hitting up the beach still and enjoying his life, when he should be in the gym training furiously. His cardio isn't great and his slacking off isn't exactly helping. This guy puts in minimal effort, but I still hope he can pull through. I've grown attached to all my fighters and only wish for them to succeed--- This Russian would be the biggest challenge yet for Gabe.

Round one? Gabe didn't stand much of a chance and was taken off guard immediately, flipped over and tossed due to Uri's superior judo capabilities. However, Gabe did get the Russian's back before the bell so there was some progression.

"Fuck you doing Gabe? Get him to the ground crank that neck back. He can't handle you there."

Know what? Andersson didn't listen AT ALL. Kid got goaded into a striking duel with Novikov and got absolutely dismantled! Dropped to the mat repeatedly and instead of trying to drag Uri with him ... He gets back up and chases after the Russian for more?

Sigh ...

Gabe didn't stand a chance the way he was fighting, and the vegan was now drained due to his god awful cardio. It went the distance and was an easy call for the judges to make. God fucking damn it Gabe!

Not sure if we have what it takes here. Hopefully Kevin is ready to fight within the year because we need something!
